RE: Report for Emergency Permit #UT-039-201^
ATK Launch Systems - Promontory Facility UTD009081357
Dear Mr. Anderson,
ATK Launch Systems, Promontory has prepared this report to summarize activities
conducted under Emergency Permit No. UT-039-201&between January 1, 2017 and
March 31,2017. All de-mining activities authorized by this permit were performed on
the Kosmo test range. The de-mining activity conducted on January 16, 2017 partially
treated a dropped LUU 19 flare. Visual inspection of the flare after de-mining revealed
the illuminant had been consumed, but the explosive bolts did not appear to initiate. The
recovery team packaged the remaining component and transferred to Promontory for
final thermal treatment at the M-136 bum grounds. On Febmary 4, 2017 the component
was treated in a clam-shell container with donor material to ensure the small amount of
explosive in the bolts initiated. The remaining residue/debris was properly disposed in
the ATK Promontory Landfill. Activities conducted under this permit are outlined
below:
